Well, I've seen easy contests, and I've seen hard contests. This particular one isn't your run-of-the-mill no-brainer. Well, unless you're just naturally a genius. Should you be so inclined to enter, you just might win a Gigabyte 7VAX KT400 motherboard, an Athlon XP2000+ CPU, and an Alpha PAL8045 high performance cooler! Head on over to Accelenation for more information.

Okay I could run a no-brainer competition of the form:

What is the answer to 1+1?

Is it...

(A) 1; (B) 2; or (C) a patronizing waste of timeInstead I've decided to make you work for it!

The Prize - The newly released Gigabyte 7VAX Athlon motherboard built around the KT400 VIA chipset, which supports AGP8X mode, DDR400 memory and comes with 6-channel AC97 audio, USB2 and integrated Ethernet 10/100MB LAN. If that wasn't enough, PCNUT has thrown in an Athlon XP2000+ CPU and Alpha PAL8045 high performance cooler. Altogether this prize is worth almost 300 bucks and should form the basis of a nice little upgrade.
